Syra reminds me of my favorite Warsaw Cophi -- small but super cosy and friendly. There are two venues of Syra but that's my favorite one and it has stolen my heart from the first sight, or rather, from the first try. It's one of these cafes, which makes me coming back not only for coffee, but also for smile which is always on the faces of the baristas. The place itself is very small - you won't enjoy a long conversation over coffee with a friend here, it's not a working space neither (because of the lack of the internet and tables it's rather impossible to work here) but you can enjoy coffee for sure! And if you do not like to drink coffee on the run or while standing, you can sit on a bench which is located both inside and outside. Now the most important - coffee! They serve only the one from coffee machine ... But it is excellent! Syra uses grains of one of the best roaster in Barcelona (Nomad), but above all, they know how to prepare it properly - the milk is never overheated and the coffee itself has a pleasant nutty flavor.
Syra has become part of my weekend ritual when I have time to stroll with coffee in hand in Gràcia or to sit on a bench on the nearby small square (Placa de la Revolució) and enjoy a cup of coffee. I recommend to all who live in the area, as well as those for whom coffee is the perfect excuse to take a walk!
